Increasing Spanish-speaking volunteers in beautification

Posted

LIBERTY, NY — Sullivan Renaissance has hired a bilingual consultant to study how to increase the participation of Spanish-speaking volunteers in Sullivan Renaissance’s beautification and community-development programs, and help cultivate gardening and horticultural skills within the Spanish speaking community. Araceli (Ari) Mir-Pontier of Barryville will develop recommendations for a program that integrates this outreach into Sullivan Renaissance.

Mir-Pontier, who is Cuban born and fluent in her native Spanish, was the vice president of the Medical Professional Liability Agency of Rock Hill from 2001 to 2014. Previously she worked for Frontier Insurance Group in Rock Hill and NYNEX in Manhattan. She is a Cornell Cooperative Extension Master Gardener volunteer, serves on the SullivanArc Garden Tour Committee, and chairs the board of directors of the Friends of New Hope Manor Foundation. She is a former director of the SullivanArc Foundation, and a member of the Leadership Sullivan Graduate Class of 2010.

Mir-Pontier is available to visit individuals and communities at their convenience to gauge their interest in beautification and explain Sullivan Renaissance programs. For more information, contact Sullivan Renaissance at www.sullivanrenaissance.org or 845/295-2445.
